I realize I am severely late at this. I have no real excuse except I started a new job about a year ago and never seem to have any time. I unfortunately did not take any build pictures while doing this.

I know the winner has not been on since he won, but I do have his address and will send this out next week. Hopefully it will inspire him to come back to MadModder.

So here I present the bolt engine trophy!

Great Eric. But RussellT has been here all along -- last posted Jan 2. I'm sure he'll appreciate it!

In fact, I'm thinking it's about time for another Mod-up. Anybody want to throw out ideas for one? Something fun cobbed up out of everyday stuff would be a good subject......

I think I have the very idea for the next challenge which should be possible and inexpensive for most.I propose wire frame models but no inanimate objects, so there will be allowed a motor with a set of gears and of course a battery pack but other than that everything else about the model must be wire which will be brazed, soldered, spot welded, tied to form the model and it must move in some way. For example if you build a model car it must move along the ground.Thoughts?
